Welcome back friends!  I’m so excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new 3D Embossing Folder Collection from Spellbinders.  It's no secret that I love to add texture to the backgrounds of my cards with embossing folders, and the gorgeous and versatile 3D designs in this collection are perfect for so many occasions! TEN GORGEOUS DESIGNS My favorite embossing folders, the ones I use over and over again, tend to be basic or more subtle patterns that add a lot of interest but don't steal the show from my focal point.  All of the folders in this initial release fit these criteria!  I embossed an A2-sized swatch of shimmer cardstock with each of the new folders to give you a quick look at the gorgeous designs.  Here are some easy links to the product pages for each: Origami Folds Corrugated Leafy Tufted Knock On Wood Beautiful Blooms Puff Dotty Circle Illusion Beveled Diamonds Tile Mosaic UNIVERSAL PLATE SYSTEM Spellbinders has also released a new Universal Plate System that makes embossing with 3D embossing folders from nearly ALL manufacturers in the Platinum machines super easy.  (I know that I always struggled to find a sandwich that worked with my Sizzix 3D embossing folders because they are thicker than all of the others...)  Plus there's a little extra length on these guys, so you'll be able to cut and emboss some of the larger slimline-sized dies that have come out lately more easily as well. FLORAL HELLO CARD The Circle Illusion 3D Embossing Folder creates such a pretty and pillowy background, I had to try it first.  I started by trimming a piece of shimmery aqua cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 and running it through my Platinum Machine using the folder with just the A and D plates from the Universal Plate System.  Then I adhered this to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with strong tape runner adhesive. The flowers and leaves were cut from Pink Sand, Wild Berry, and Fern Cardstock using the Layered Cherry Blossom Die Set.  After adding a little shading with Picked Raspberry and Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink and a sponge dauber, I assembled the blooms with liquid glue.  Yellow Crystal Drops were added to the flower centers to embellish. I applied Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using both the Mini Sincere Sentiments and Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments Plate Sets with my Glimmer Hot Foil System and cut them out with the coordinating dies.  A little circle wreath was cut from the white cardstock using the Fluted Classics Circles Die Set and all of the elements were arranged and adhered to the card front with foam adhesive. SWAN SYMPATHY CARD I thought the Origami Folds 3D Embossing Folder created such a pretty background that I chose this one next.  I trimmed a piece of lavender shimmer cardstock to 4 x 5.25 before embossing it with the design and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive. Next, I applied Prism Hot Foil to white cardstock using the Graceful Swan Glimmer Plate Set and Cobalt Hot Foil to white cardstock using the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set before cutting them out with their respective dies.  (I also added a little color to the swan's beak with a Copic marker.) After adding my swan and sentiment to the lower right corner of the card front, I tucked some pretty flowers and leaves behind them that I cut from Glacier, Raindrop, Rainforest, and Mirror Silver Cardstock using the Mini Blooms & Sprigs Die Set.  A few Crystal Mix Gems were added to embellish this soft and pretty scene. There are so many gorgeous designs in the collection that I couldn't just stop there…here are three more projects I made with these fun 3D embossing folders (you can find the complete instructions for these over on the Spellbinders blog). I hope you enjoyed these easy and pretty cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the 3D Embossing Folder Collection from Spellbinders now and add tons of texture and dimension to all of your projects!  And don't miss the Star Spangled Savings Event with up to 40% off some amazing products until Tuesday, July 5th!

Hello everyone,Something simple today using my new spellbinders embossing folder called petite framed label, SB fleu de lis motifs, SB labels four, SB fancy tags one,  the roses I made using cheery lynn rose dies medium and large, they are so easy to do , I usually make them while watching TV, and they have…

Hello again friends!  Today I’m excited to share the new Holiday 3D Embossing Folders Collection from Spellbinders.  With a gorgeous poinsettia print and a versatile diamond design, the two newest additions to the 3D Folder Collection will be ones that I pull out again and again (I've already used both several times!).  I created a warm and cozy holiday card with the Scenic Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder here, but check out the sneak peek below to see a few more ways to use these beautiful designs! Using a technique inspired by Erum Tasneem, I first trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5.25 and very lightly embossed the panel with the Scenic Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder (you can decrease the thickness of your sandwich to do this).  Then I applied Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to the lightly debossed side of the paper to add color to the images (the light debossing allows you to see where to apply your ink without adding so much texture that you can't ink evenly). Once the color has been added, I ran the panel back through using the correct sandwich with the Scenic Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder (courtesy of my Universal Plate System) to achieve a deeper embossing.  Then I applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink all over the panel, darkening the background while leaving the color in the debossed areas. I matted the panel with some Fern Cardstock and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  Then I cut Mirror Gold Cardstock once and Fern Cardstock three times using the Classic Happy Holidays Die and stacked them together with liquid glue for a dimensional sentiment.  Lastly, I added Gold Hot Foil to Fern Cardstock using the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plate Set and added the small trip to the lower right corner with foam adhesive. And here are three more projects I made with this beautiful collection.  The first was created with the same Scenic Poinsettia 3D Embossing Folder and Classic Happy Holidays Die but the result is a completely different look.  Then I created a frosty window for my Tweet Cardinal using the Dimensional Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.  And lastly, I added some pretty Holiday Blooms and the gorgeous Stylish Merry Christmas to a soft and pretty background created with the Dimensional Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.   You can find the complete instructions for these over on the Spellbinders blog! I hope you enjoyed these pretty holiday cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Holiday 3D Embossing Folder Collection now and add gorgeous texture to all of your holiday projects.  And don’t miss the Delicious Die Cutting Sale where you can save up to 40% on some amazing dies from now until Sunday, September 11th!

Welcome back friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new Classic Christmas Collection from Spellbinders.  (Check out the entire July release here…just a ton of beautiful holiday stuff!)  This collection is full of sweet holiday icons, beautiful sentiment dies, and a fun new layering stencil set in traditional Christmas motifs.  I used some of the products from the collection to create three easy and pretty cards perfect for sending holiday cheer. WARM WISHES TURTLEDOVE CARD I'm a sucker for anything bird-related, and the new Christmas Bird Poinsettia Die Set was no exception!  I cut my feathered friend out of different shades of grey cardstock to look like a turtledove and added a big pretty poinsettia, holly leaves, pine sprigs, and even a candy cane to fill out my bouquet. To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Glacier Cardstock to 4 x 5.25, embossed it with the Vintage Ornaments 3D Embossing Folder, and added it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  After arranging my flowers and bird in one corner of the card front, I added a sentiment from the Christmas Die & Glimmer Sentiments Set foiled in Gold Hot Foil and cut from Phone Booth Cardstock. CHRISTMAS FLORALS CARD Spellbinders has really been creating some beautiful layering stencils lately and the Christmas Florals Die & Stencil Bundle might be my new favorite!  I used several different shades of Distress Inks with the five stencil layers in the set followed by a dab of Champagne Stardust Butter for the poinsettia centers.  It created a beautiful bouquet that nearly fills an entire card front, and I sliced it right in half for a slightly different look. After embossing a piece of Crimson Cardstock with the In The Pines Embossing Folder, I popped the two halves up on the top and bottom of the card front with foam adhesive.  Then I cut a sentiment out of Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Christmas Florals Die & Stencil Bundle and added it in the center.  I love how easy it was to create that gorgeous and colorful image! BOTTLE BRUSH CHRISTMAS TREE FOREST CARD Lastly, I love that there are now two more larger sizes of bottle brush trees to add to my collection thanks to the new Bottle Brush Trees Duo Die Set.  I cut Dahlia, Rainforest, Waterfall, Pink Sand, and Purple Mist Cardstock with both the Bottle Brush Trees Duo Die Set and the Bottle Brush Trees Die Set (smaller trees released last year) and layered coordinating colors of Glitter Foam on top to create this bright and cheery forest. To assemble the card, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4.125 x 5.375, embossed it with the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  After adding my bottle brush tree forest to the front of the card with foam adhesive, I cut a sentiment out of Mirror Silver Cardstock using the Christmas Florals Die & Stencil Bundle and popped it up in the corner with more foam adhesive. I hope you enjoyed these pretty holiday card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Classic Christmas Collection now and create your own easy Christmas cards for all of your loved ones! And while you're shopping in the Spellbinders store this week, you can get a free bundle of adhesives with any purchase of $100 or more from now until Monday, July 24th!

Hello again friends!  I'm excited to share a few projects today made with the brand new Fresh Picked Collection from Spellbinders (you can check out the rest of the January release here...there is a ton of fun stuff in this release!)  This collection is full of fun and kinda funky florals that you can use to fill an entire cardfront or just as a focal point as well as some cute sentiments and a great basic embossing folder.  I created three cards using most of the products in the collection, and can't wait to make more! BUTTERCUP SYMPATHY CARD I loved the dainty flowers in the Fresh Picked Buttercups Die Set, so I picked this one up first to work with.  I knew I was making a sympathy card, so I chose some muted, but pretty shades of cardstocks to cut all of my flower branches out of - Velvet Rose, Peach Sorbet, and Sage Cardstock.  After cutting, I added some shading with coordinating Distress Inks and assembled everything with liquid glue. For the background, I embossed a piece of Barely Peach Cardstock with the new Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  Then I arranged all of the branches and popped them up on top of the card front with foam adhesive.  To finish off the card, I foiled a sentiment from the You Are Everything Sentiments BetterPress Plate Set in gold and added some Gold Mix Gems. ANEMONE THANK YOU CARD Although all of the main die sets in the collection can be used to create full card fronts, you can also take just a stem or two and use it as a focal point on your card.  Here I cut two of the floral stems from the Fresh Picked Anemone Die Set out of Rainforest, Purple Mist, Lilac Blossom, Royal Amethyst, and Plum Cardstocks and assembled them with liquid glue.  I placed them in the center of the card front for a bold and pretty focal point. To create the background, I blended Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Ink over two-thirds of a piece of white cardstock and then embossed it with the Geo Screen Embossing Folder.  After adhering the anemones to the card with foam adhesive, I popped a sentiment cut out of Mirror Silver Cardstock using the Fresh Picked Sentiments Die Set right on top with more foam adhesive.  To finish off the card, I added a few Crystal Mix Gems. DAFFODIL HELLO CARD Lastly, I love daffodils and really love the funky look of the flowers in the Fresh Picked Daffodils Die Set!  I cut mine out of Fern, white, Sunkissed, and Persimmon Cardstocks, assembling them with liquid glue.  A bold sentiment from the Fresh Picked Sentiments Die Set was cut out of Mirror Gold Cardstock as well. To assemble the card, I embossed a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock with the new Columns Embossing Folder before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  Then I popped the flowers up on top of the card front and added the bold sentiment in the lower corner.  To complete the card, I foiled a secondary greeting in gold using the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set, cut it into a small strip, and added it beneath my hi. If you're interested in even more florals, then you'll want to check out the new From The Garden Collection by Wendy Vecchi!  Here are peeks at three cards I made using the new Garden Party Stamp Stencil & Die Set, Vintage Florals Die Set, Heartfelt Thanks & Scallops Die Set, and Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder.  You can find additional details for these cards over on the Spellbinders blog! I hope you enjoyed these bold floral card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Fresh Picked Collection now and create your own pretty spring cards for all of your loved ones!  And don’t miss the Sweetheart Sale with up to 40% select products going on now until Sunday, January 14th!

Happy Thursday friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a bunch of projects made with the new Serenade Of Autumn Collection  from Spellbinders.  (Check out the rest of the October release here…so much gorgeous stuff this month!)  This collection is HUGE and contains dies, BetterPress plates, stencils, and a whole slew of paper collection products all geared towards beautiful autumn cardmaking.  Here I created four pretty cards with just some of the products in the collection perfect for sending a bright autumn hello. STENCILED SUNFLOWER CARD I love anything sunflower, so I was overjoyed to see the beautiful Layered Sunflower Stencil in this collection.  I started by blending Distress Inks through each layer of the design onto white cardstock with a blending tool until the sunflower bunch was complete.  Then I trimmed the panel down to 3.75 square and matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock. To assemble the card, I trimmed a piece of pretty patterned paper from the Serenade Of Autumn Paper Pad to 4.75 square, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock, added a strip of Dark Green Satin Ribbon around the center, and mounted it all on top of a 5 square white card base.  After popping the stenciled panel up on top of the card front with foam adhesive, I added a sentiment foiled in gold using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and a smattering of Gold Mix Gems. AUTUMN BUNCH MINI SLIMLINE CARD I have been wanting autumn-themed Sealed products since Spellbinders first introduced their wax seal line and it makes me so happy that they're finally here!  I cut brightly colored cardstock with the Autumn Sealed Spring Die Set and blended some Distress Ink on the edges to give them dimension.  I also pressed some melted Green Wax Beads with the new Sunflower Wax Seal Stamp and traced over the pretty design with a gold metallic marker. To assemble the card, I first trimmed a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock to 3.25 x 6.25, embossed it with the Evergreen 3D Embossing Folder, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock and wrapped it with some gold cording before adhering it to a top-folding Portobello card base measuring 3.5 x 6.5.  Once my sprigs were arranged underneath the gold cord, I added my wax seal on top and embellished with Gold Mix Gems. SIMPLE SUNFLOWER CARD And how pretty is this layered sunflower from the Sunflower Serenade Die Set?  I cut mine out of Beeswax, Rainforest, Timber, and Latte Cardstocks and added a bit of shading with Carved Pumpkin and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks before assembling it with liquid glue.  Then I cut a pretty greeting out of Lagoon and Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Serenade Sentiments Die Set (so many beautiful sentiments in this set!). To create the background I embossed a piece of Lagoon Cardstock with the Autumn Serenade 3D Embossing Folder and rubbed gold gilding wax lightly over the raised parts to bring out the design more.  Then I just popped the sunflower and sentiment up on top with foam adhesive to complete the card. PRETTY AUTUMN THANK YOU CARD Lastly, the patterned paper in the Serenade Of Autumn Paper Pad is so beautiful, I wanted to create a really simple card where the focus was on one of my favorite designs in the pack.  I trimmed the paper to 4 x 5.25 and matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock before adding it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base. The beautiful script sentiment was cut from Mirror Gold and Alabaster Cardstock using the Serenade Sentiments Die Set and popped up on top of the card front with foam adhesive.  To complete the greeting, I foiled one of the sentiments from the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set in gold, and cut out just the piece I needed before adhering it to the card with foam adhesive.  Gold Mix Gems were added to embellish. Speaking of autumn, here are three fun card projects I created with shaker, scratch-off, and light-up products sold over in the Spellbinders shop.  I used products from the Serenade of Autumn, Envelope of Wonder, and Simon Hurleys Fall Collections to demonstrate these three fun interactive elements.  All the details for these can be found over on the Spellbinders Blog. I hope you enjoyed these pretty autumn card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Serenade Of Autumn Collection now and create your own beautiful cards for the season!  And don’t miss the Poppin Die Cutting Sale with up to 40% off some gorgeous dies going on now until Friday, October 13th!

Welcome to the weekend friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new Sealed For Summer Collection from Spellbinders.  (Check out the entire June release here…so much good stuff!)  This collection contains beautiful Glimmer Plates, gorgeous dies, stunning embossing folders, fun new wax seal stamps, and a ton of new wax bead colors too!  I used a bunch of the products from the collection to create three pretty floral cards for different occasions. But first, here's a quick look at all of the new wax colors stamped with one of my favorite new wax seal stamps from the Sealed For Summer Wax Seal Set 1.  I LOVE the new Pink Damask and Driftwood colors the most I think, but those three beautiful purples match the Spellbinders cardstock really well too! SUMMERTIME FLORAL LOVE CARD Before I get to those wax seals though, let's start with this pretty foiled love card!  The new Glimmer Bouquet Plate & Die Set was so gorgeous, I picked this up first to foil onto white cardstock using Gold Hot Foil, then colored with my Copic markers.  I also foiled a matching sentiment using the Must Have Glimmer Sentiments Set. To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Waterfall Cardstock to 4 x 5.25, embossed it with the Mandala Blooms 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  Then I cut white cardstock using one of the Essential Modern Ovals Dies and splatted some diluted Salvaged Patina Distress Ink over it before adding it on top with foam adhesive.  To finish off the card, I popped the bouquet and sentiment up on top of the card front with more foam adhesive. WAX SEAL SYMPATHY CARD Next, I wanted to try out one of my new wax seal stamps, so I marbled the Pastel Lilac and Enchanted Wax Beads together, stamped it with the For You wax seal stamp from the Sealed For Summer Wax Seal Set 1, and added silver metallic marker just to the sentiment once hardened.  I cut Mirror Silver, Rainforest, and Purple Mist Cardstock using the Sealed Squiggles and Sealed Flowers Die Set to create the little bouquet behind the seal. To assemble, I trimmed a piece of Royal Amethyst Cardstock to 4 x 5.25, embossed it with the Floral & Vine 3D Embsossing Folder, matted it with Mirror Silver Cardstock, and added it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  Then I cut a piece of white cardstock using one of the dies from the Essential Modern Ovals Die Set, blended Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Ink up from the bottom, added it to the card front, and trimmed off any overhanging pieces.  Once the wax seal and mini bouquet were adhered, I added a secondary sentiment beneath the wax seal foiled in Lavender Petal Hot Foil using the Hexi Gems Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set. SWEET FLORAL HI CARD Lastly, I wanted to make a simple and sweet floral card with the new Oval Floral Wax Seal Stamp from the Sealed for Summer Wax Seal Set 1.  This time I melted just Coral Wax Beads for the seal, and applied gold metallic marker over the entire pressed design.  I cut Sage, Peach Sorbet, and Mirror Gold Cardstock with the Sealed Squiggles and Sealed Blooms Die Sets to create the little bouquet behind the seal. Latte Cardstock was embossed with the Mandala Blooms Embossing Folder and I cut two sizes of ovals from Alabaster and Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Essential Modern Ovals Die Set before splattering some gold paint onto the smaller oval.  Once the card had been assembled, I added a simple hi foiled with Gold Hot Foil using the Glimmer Alphabet Plate Set and applied inks to color the inside using the coordinating stencil.  I love how this card turned out! I hope you enjoyed these pretty summer floral card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Sealed For Summer Collection now and create your own gorgeous foiled or wax-sealed projects for any occasion!

Happy Monday friends!  Today I’m excited to share the new Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken.  With ornate holiday designs, beautiful A2, mini slimline, and slimline backgrounds, and even a pretty embossing folder, this collection has everything you need to create gorgeous Christmas cards in all shapes and sizes.  I combined several of the products in the collection to create a warm and elegant slimline card here but check out the sneak peek below to see a few more ways to use these beautiful designs! I started by cutting Dune Cardstock using the frame die and Mirror Gold, Fern, Rainforest, and Crimson Cardstock using the ornament dies from the Flourished Ornament Slimline Die Set.  After embossing the inner frame die cut with the beautiful Holly Flourish Embossing Folder, I applied a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink to bring out the design even more.  Then I assembled the ornaments with liquid glue (there are several different ornament parts in the set that can be combined to create tons of uniquely shaped ornaments!). Once the ornaments were added to the card front with foam adhesive, I cut one of the birds from the adorable Sugarplum Tweets Die Set out of Phone Booth, Fern, Persimmon, and Rainforest Cardstock and assembled him with liquid glue.  I finished off the card with a sentiment and holly leaves cut with the Noel Mini Slimline Die Set. And here are three more projects I made with this beautiful collection.  The first card combines the adorable snowman from the Let It Snowman A2 Cardfront Die Set with a background created with the Noel Mini Slimline Die Set and the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder as well as a sentiment from the Joy Flourish Doily Die Set.  Next I added those cute birds from the Sugarplum Tweets Die Set to the wreath-like frame from the Let It Snowman A2 Cardfront Die Set and finished the card off with some tiny ornaments from the Merry Flourish Die Set.  Finally, I took the cute cottage from the All Hearts Come Home A2 Cardfront Die Set and cut it out three times to cover the frame from the Flourished Ornament Slimline Die Set and panel embossed with the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder (sentiment foiled in Moondust Hot Foil using the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plate Set).  You can find the complete instructions for these over on the Spellbinders blog! I hope you enjoyed these pretty holiday cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Christmas Flourish Collection now and create your own gorgeous and elegant holiday projects.  Don’t miss the Fall Warehouse Sale with prices as low as $1 on clearance items and up to 40% off other bestselling items as well!

Welcome to the weekend friends!  Today I’m thrilled to share one more new collection that’s part of the July release from Spellbinders…the Celebrate The Season Collection.  With gorgeous traditional holiday designs, beautiful backgrounds, and a variety of sentiments, this collection has something for everyone when it comes to holiday cardmaking.  I created three fun Christmas cards with some of the products in the collection perfect for sending a little holiday cheer. Note: This collection has been very popular and certain products have been in and out of stock in many shops.  Be sure to check the more extensive list of links at the end of this post and click the notify me button in the shop if you’re having trouble locating a specific set! MERRY LITTLE RED SLEIGH CARD The Winter Welcome Sled Die Set is such a gorgeous set with so many beautiful details.  From the embossed woodgrain on the sled to the tiny laces on the ice skates, any card made with this die set looks instantly elegant.  I cut my sled from Phone Booth and Mirror Silver Cardstock and added two-tone grey skates and a white poinsettia with greenery to embellish. The background was created by trimming a piece of Raindrop Cardstock to 4 x 5.25 and embossing it with the Sweater Weather Embossing Folder before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive.  After popping the sled up on top of the card front with foam adhesive, I added a sentiment from the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plate Set that I had foiled using Silver Hot Foil.  Crystal Mix Gems were added to finish off this pretty card. HOLIDAY CHEER CARDINAL WREATH I love all of the layered birds that Spellbinders has been releasing lately, and the Tweet Cardinal is no exception!  Fearing he might get lonely, I created a female cardinal for him to hang out with using the recently-released Little Chickadee Die Set.  The wreath was formed using the pine branches from the Holiday Blooms Die Set...I overlapped three layers of branches cut from Fern and Rainforest Cardstock for a full, but simple wreath.  Then I added some of the flowers and berries from the set for a little extra color and finished off the flower centers with a few Gold Mix Gems. To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock to 5.25 square and embossed it with the Knock On Wood 3D Embossing Folder before matting it with Mirror Gold Cardstock and adhering it to a top-folding 5.5 square white card base.  After adhering my wreath and cardinals to the front of the card, I added a sentiment cut from Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Mix & Match Holiday Greetings Die Set. SLEIGH BELLS & REINDEER CARD Lastly, I thought the little sleigh bells from the More Holiday Decorations Die Set were so cute that I wanted to create a little silly and fun card with them.  I added straps of them all over a piece of Dune Cardstock that had been embossed with the Dazzling Dots Embossing Folder and matted with Fern Cardstock. That cute reindeer was created by adding Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock with the Deer Friend Glimmer Plate Set and coloring it in with Copic markers.  I gave him his own sleigh bell and a few holly leaves before adhering him to the front of the card with foam adhesive.  To finish off this simple card, I added another sentiment from the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plate Set, foiled in Red Hot Foil. I hope you enjoyed these fun holiday cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Celebrate The Season Collection from Spellbinders now and get all those holiday cards ready for mailing (it'll be here before you know it!).  And don’t miss the Glimmering Hot Foil Stock Up Sale with up to 40% off some amazing Glimmer products from now until Sunday, July 31st!

Welcome back friends!  Today I’m excited to share the new Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken.  This beautiful border edge design has been translated into a variety of layered shapes and also layers perfectly with several of Becca's previously-released nestable die sets!  I used the new Postage Edge Circles Die Set to create this fun shaped Christmas card, but be sure to check out additional examples below. I started by scoring and folding white cardstock, placing the largest die from the Postage Edge Circles Die Set over the scored side just a bit before running it through my diecutting machine to create the folded shape card base shown.  Then I cut Raindrop Cardstock using the next smallest die in the set and embossed this layer with the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder before matting it with a Mirror Silver layer cut with the largest die in the Picot Petite Circles Die Set and adding all of this to the shaped card base with foam adhesive. The snowman was cut using the Let It Snowman A2 Cardfront Die Set (I've used this guy several times this year because he is so adorable!).  I added a floral spray in the top corner cut with the Holiday Blooms Die Set and finished the card off with a sentiment foiled with Prism Hot Foil using the Joyful Christmas Sentiments Glimmer Plate. And here are three more projects I made using the other shapes in the collection.  For the first, I cut several frosty layers using the Postage Edge Squares Die Set, added a few icons from the Holiday Label Motifs and Winter Label Motifs Die Sets, and finished it off with a pretty sentiment from the Seasonal Motifs Sentiment Stamp Set.  I combined layers from the Postage Edge Rectangles and Postage Edge Ovals Die Sets on the next card, embellishing with a pretty butterfly from the Summer Label Motifs Die Set and a sentiment from the Half Slimline Bracket Die Set.  Lastly, I cut several layers out of pink, white, and gold cardstock using the Postage Edge Slimlines Die Set, added a decorative layer cut using the Thank You For Your Kindness Die Set, and topped it off with a sentiment from the Merry Everything Words Die Set.  You can find all of the details on these projects over on the Spellbinders Blog by clicking here! I hope you enjoyed these fun cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Postage Edges Shapes Collection now and create your own beautifully-edged cards for any occasion!  And don’t miss the Early Black Friday Sale with up to 50% off great products, Doorbuster Deals, Free Gifts and more going on now until Wednesday, November 30th!

Happy Friday friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new Metamorphosis Collection by Simon Hurley from Spellbinders.  (Check out the entire February release here!)  This collection contains beautiful butterflies, sentiments, and scene-building elements perfect for springtime and everyday cards!  I created two colorful butterfly cards with the collection perfect for sending a happy hello. BUTTERFLY CONGRATS CARD The Stained Glass Window Die Set creates a beautiful background element that nearly fills an entire A2-sized card front.  I decided to use it almost like a trellis and cut it out of both white and Mirror Gold Cardstock (offset a bit for a golden shadow layer) before adhering it on top of a card base onto which I had blended Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink. That bold flower was cut from several shades of yellow, green, and gold cardstock using the In Bloom Die Set (shading was added around the edges with Distress Inks).  After cutting a piece of white cardstock using one of the butterfly shadow layers from the Brilliant Butterflies Die Set, I blended Candied Apple, Ripe Persimmon, and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink over it and added the detail layer on top cut from Onyx and Mirror Gold Cardstock.  To finish the card off, I foiled a sentiment in Gold Hot Foil using the Sentiments For Everyday Glimmer Plate Set. BUTTERFLY WINDOW HELLO CARD For a softer look, I started this card by cutting the detail layer of one of the butterflies from the Brilliant Butterflies Die Set out of cardstock that I had blended Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink onto and adhered it to a shadow layer cut from vellum.  This time I cut the sideview flower from the In Bloom Die Set out of Purple Mist, Lilac Blossom, and Royal Amethyst Cardstock and foiled a sentiment from the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments Set using Bright Pink Hot Foil. To create the background, I die cut the center of a piece of white cardstock using one of the dies from the Essential Floral Reflection Die Set and embossed it with the Flower Frenzy 3D Embossing Folder.  After inking an A2-sized white card base with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks, I added a few splatters and adhered the embossed window panel on top with foam adhesive before popping the rest of the elements up around the window with more foam adhesive. I hope you enjoyed these pretty butterfly card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Metamorphosis Collection now and create your own beautiful spring cards!  And don’t miss the We Love You Sale with up to 40% off some amazing products from now until Monday, February 20th!

Happy Friday friends!  I’m thrilled to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the brand new Four Petal Collection from Spellbinders.  (Check out the entire February release here!)  This collection is full of gorgeous floral-themed dies, stamps, Glimmer Plates, and stencils perfect for springtime and everyday cards!  I created five bright floral cards with the collection for various occasions. FLORAL THANK YOU CARD My favorite die set in the collection is the Four Petal Thank You Floral Die Set, so I started with this one first.  After cutting the gorgeous floral bunch out of various shades of orange, pink, green, and white, I added a little shading with Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.  I then assembled the bouquet on top of the branch that I had cut from Dune Cardstock three times to ensure a nice thick base.  Flower centers and the sentiment from the set were cut from Mirror Gold Cardstock. To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock to 4 x 5.25, embossed it with the Four Petal 3D Embossing Folder, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  Then I cut white cardstock using one of the dies from the Essential Four Petal Labels Die Set and blended Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink up from one corner before adhering the bouquet and sentiment on top with liquid glue. PUNCHED & PIERCED RAINBOW CARD I loved the beautifully-detailed pattern created by the Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate Die and thought it would look great over top of a bright rainbow background.  I started by applying Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink over a piece of white cardstock trimmed to slightly smaller than 4.25 x 5.5.  Then I cut white cardstock using the Scrolled Punch & Pierce Plate Die and adhered the outermost border directly to the inked panel with liquid glue. I wanted a bit more of the rainbow to show through on the card, so I cut the middle layer with one of the Essential Four Petal Labels Dies to make it slightly smaller (I LOVE how everything works together in this collection!) and adhered it down to the inked panel with liquid glue.  Then I popped up the center die-cut with foam adhesive for a little variation. The sentiment was cut from Mirror Gold Cardstock using one of the greetings in the Thanks Enclosed Sentiments Die Set and added to the center panel with liquid glue.  To embellish, I cut some flowers and leaves from Pink Sand, Mirror Gold, and Rainforest Cardstock using the Four Petal Thank You Floral Die Set and added them to the corners of the card front. PETAL REFLECTION LOVE CARD I really love all of the new reflection die sets that Spellbinders has been releasing lately because you can easily fill a card front with tons of florals using them or just add one as a border element.  Here I cut various shades of purple, pink, aqua, white, and green cardstock using the Four Petal Bloom Reflection Die Set and assembled two floral bunches on top of a white background cut using one of the dies from the Essential Four Petal Labels Die Set. I trimmed a piece of Royal Amethyst Cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 and embossed it with the Floral Frenzy 3D Embossing Folder (I've been using this folder SO much!) before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  After popping the floral panel up on top of the card front with foam adhesive, I added a sentiment cut from white and Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Thanks Enclosed Sentiments Die Set. EMBOSSED FRAME LOVE CARD I couldn't get over how gorgeous the Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder was, so I wanted to use it again on a card where it could really shine as the focal point.  I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 and blending Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink over the panel to form an ombre background.  After embossing the inked panel with the Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder, I lightly rubbed a white pigment ink pad over the raised areas to bring the design out a bit more. For the sentiment, I applied Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using one of the plates from the All-Occasion Mailbox Greetings Glimmer Plates Set (the sentiments from the Parcel & Post Collection all fit great within the Four Petal label shapes!) and cut it out using one of the Essential Four Petal Labels Dies.  To finish off the card, I added some flowers and leaves cut using the Four Petal Bloom Reflection and Four Petal Thank You Floral Die Sets and a spray of Gold Mix Gems. WONDERFUL TULIPS CARD Lastly, the big, beautiful floral image in the Wonderful Tulips Glimmer Plate Set was just begging to be put on a clean and simple card.  I started by applying Pewter Hot Foil to white cardstock using the image and sentiment from the set and then added lots of color quickly and easily to the image thanks to the coordinating Wonderful Tulips Layered Stencils and various Distress Inks.  Once complete, I cut everything out with the coordinating dies (included). For the background, I trimmed a piece of Waterfall Cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5, embossed it using the Dimensional Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  After popping the image and sentiment up on top of the card with foam adhesive, I added a few Crystal Mix Gems to embellish. I hope you enjoyed these fun springtime card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Four Petal Collection now and create your own beautiful floral-themed cards for any occasion!  Don’t forget to check out the entire February release…you can save $25 off your $125 order from now until Monday, February 13th!

Welcome to the weekend friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share this beautiful new collection from the Spellbinders February release - the Windows With A View Collection by Tina Smith.  Just as it sounds, this collection contains all the supplies you need to create breathtaking views for any season or occasion.  Here I'm sharing three cards made with many of the dies, stamps, and stencils in the collection perfect for sending a gorgeous view to a friend. BEAUTIFUL DAY CARD It was so hard to choose which view to build for my recipient first, but the fun critters and scenic elements in the Backyard Haven View Die Set won my heart.  I started by cutting the window and sill out of white cardstock using the Vista View Window Die Set to create a window looking from the inside out.  Then I used the outer window die from the same die set to cut the background window panel out of white cardstock, adding the grass, clouds, and mountains with Distress Inks and the Background Scapes Stencil Set. Once stenciled, I added the sweet bird house, bird bath, tree, and critters on top of the panel...all cut using the Backyard Haven View Die Set.  To assemble the card, I embossed Pink Sand Cardstock with the Flowers & Foliage 3D Embossing Folder before adding it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base, and adhered the completed window on top.  A sweet sentiment was stamped in grey ink using the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Stamp Set to finish off the card. SWEET KITTY WINDOW CARD Windows work both ways, so I decided to create a card looking in this time at a cozy and sweet springtime scene.  I cut the window and flower box out of Latte, Dune, and Alabaster Cardstocks using the Vista View Window Die Set, then cut a window background panel out of white cardstock, blending Salty Ocean Distress Ink around the edges to give it a bit of tinting.  This time I used the windowsill die to create a shelf for my sweet kitty to sit on (my house always has at least one kitty sitting in a window!) who was cut using my Garden Builder Die Set. The flowers and butterflies were added inside and outside the window (my kitty needed something to watch!) and I used the Botanical Solarium Die Set to create all of those, adding shading with Distress Inks where needed.  To finish off the card, I added some pretty patterned paper from the Beach Hut Paper Pad to my card base to look like siding, adhered the window on top, and stamped another beautiful sentiment in brown ink using the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Stamp Set. TROPICAL SUNSHINE & SMILES CARD Lastly, I couldn't resist making a summer-y card with the Coastal Escape View Die Set.  This set allows you to build a scene behind your porthole either underwater or above and I, of course, chose palm trees!  After cutting the porthole out of Mirror Gold Cardstock, I cut a window background panel out of white cardstock and blended Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks over it to create a bright sunset.  The porthole rivets are just Fashion Gold Embellishments positioned over the holes of the die-cut. The palm trees and hibiscus flower were cut using the Coastal Escape View Die Set as well (this set really works as a stand-alone die set if all you want to do is create gorgeous tropical scenes!) and inked before assembling with liquid glue.  I added some woodgrain patterned paper from the Wood Textures Paper Pad to my card base before adhering the window on top and embossed a sentiment from the Sending Sunshine Sentiments Stamp Set in gold to finish off the card. I hope you enjoyed these beautiful views and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Windows With A View Collection by Tina Smith now and create your own pretty window cards for any occasion!  And don't miss the Die-lightful Die Cutting Sale with up to 40% some really gorgeous products from now until Wednesday, February 28th!

Happy New Year friends!  I hope 2023 is off to a great start for you!  It’s reveal day for the January 2023 Club Kits from Spellbinders and there are some gorgeous floral designs this month!  We are also introducing some new clubs with the new year, so today I’m sharing seven card projects featuring the Large Die of the Month, Small Die of the Month, Glimmer Kit of the Month, Clear Stamp of the Month Kit, Embossing Folder of the Month, 3D Embossing Folder of the Month (NEW!), Stitching Die of the Month (NEW!), and Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Kits. LARGE DIE OF THE MONTH This month’s Large Die of the Month Kit, “Club Blooms“, is a massive set of 23 dies that can be used to create tons of different flowers, leaves, sprigs, and more perfect for building bouquets or accents.  I created a bright and cheery birthday card with a large bouquet as the focal image and pretty gold accents. I cut the many different flowers and leaves from the kit out of shades of pink, orange, teal, and green and assembled them with liquid glue.  Then I trimmd a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5.25, embossed it using this month's Embossing Folder of the Month, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive.  After adhering the bouquet to the front of the card, I added a pretty sentiment strip cut from Mirror Gold Cardstock using this month's Small Die of the Month. SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH This month’s Small Die of the Month Kit, “Sentimental Ampersand“, is another beautiful set with tons of versatile sentiments and bitty floral accents.  The kit contains a whopping 20 cutting dies that allow you to cut a gorgeous layered ampersand, pretty little flowers and leaves, and six beautiful sentiment banners.  You can use the ampersand to join two of the sentiment banners like I did here, but how beautiful would this be for a wedding card too?! I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4.125 x 5.375, embossed it with this month's Embossing Folder of the Month, and this time added the debossed side to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive.  Then I cut the ampersand from the kit out of Mirror Gold Cardstock and added a layer of Cosmic Sky Cardstock behind it for a soft shadow.  To finish the card off, I added the floral accents and sentiments cut from shades of pink, purple, and teal cardstocks. GLIMMER KIT OF THE MONTH This month’s Glimmer Kit of the Month, “Flower Delivery” contains 5 Glimmer plates along with 5 coordinating dies that can be used to foil a fun little car, pretty floral spray, and several gorgeous tiny sentiments and cut all of the elements out.  I topped the little car with bouquet from the kit and added a couple of sentiments for this simple and sweet friendship card. I started by applying Moondust and Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using the car, flower, and sentiment dies from the kit as well as an extra sentiment from the Birthday Unboxing Glimmer Plate Set.  After coloring the flowers in with Copic markers, I cut all of the elements out using the coordinating dies and arranged them on top of a card front made by embossing Purple Mist Cardstock with this month's 3D Embossing Folder of the Month (NEW!). CLEAR STAMP & DIE OF THE MONTH KIT This month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Kit is another gorgeous floral design!  “Hydrangea Bouquet” is a set of 5 stamps that contains two different floral images and three beautiful sentiments.  If your subscription includes the coordinating dies, you’ll also get 3 dies to cut the images and one of the sentiments out.  I stamped the large bouquet image onto white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers before cutting it out with the coordinating die to create this pretty focal image. For the background, I trimmed a piece of Pink Sand Cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 and embossed it with this month's 3D Embossing Folder of the Month before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  Then I popped the image and sentiment up on top of the card front and added a few Crystal Mix Gems to embellish. 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH (NEW KIT!) And how about the brand new 3D Embossing Folder of the Month that is debuting this month?!  You've already seen the Floral Archway folder several times because it is such a gorgeous design with so much detail!  I created a really simple friendship card with it because I thought the design really just spoke for itself. I started by trimming some Fruit Punch Cardstock to 4.125 x 5.375 and heat-embossing a sentiment from the Sentimental Greetings Stamp Set in white in the center.  Then I dry-embossed the panel using the Floral Archway 3D Embossing Folder and rubbed a white pigment ink pad over the raised areas to bring out the design more.  Once dry, I adhered the panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive and added a few Pink Opalescent Sequins to embellish. STITCHING DIE OF THE MONTH (NEW KIT!) Are you ready for another brand new kit this month?  The Stitching Die of the Month was requested by many fans of the Spellbinders Club Kits and it is finally a reality!  This month's kit, Nested Stitch Burst, is a set of 5 dies that creates a beautiful layered background for stitching (or not!).  Spellbinders is also releasing an add-on stamp set this month, Sentimental Greetings, with tons of beautiful sentiments that fit perfectly in the center of one of the smallest dies in the kit. I cut Wild Berry Cardstock using the largest die in the kit, Pink Sand Cardstock using the next two largest dies in the kit, and stamped a sentiment from the Sentimental Greetings Stamp Set in pink ink before cutting it out with the second smallest die in the kit.  Then I stitched the panels using variegated pink thread and gold metallic thread before layering them up on top of a white card base.  To finish the card off, I added some Gold Mix Gems. EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH Lastly, this month's Embossing Folder of the Month, Stylized Trellis, is the perfect subtle background for all of the pretty floral cards I've shown today (and I have used it for several already!).  I embossed a panel of Waterfall Cardstock using the Stylized Trellis folder for this simple thank you card. I wanted the embossed background to be the star of this easy card, so I added a stitched star panel made with the Stitching Die of the Month and some teal thread and embossed a sentiment from the Sentimental Greetings Stamp Set in gold onto the smaller panel.  To embellish, I added a few small flowers from this month's Large Die of the Month. I hope you enjoyed these pretty floral card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can subscribe to any of the Spellbinders Clubs now and never miss a great kit like these again!
